THE RAFT SCENE.
Something That Was Not Down on the
 Programme.

Something That Was Not Down on the
 Programme.
 Waterbery people had seen Charles T. Grilley, of this city, and member of At kinson & Cooks Stock company, in three characters, for which he is by nature em1- nently fitted. He had the advantage of disguise and it was easy to conceal his em- barrassment; but last night in the drama Queens Evidence" he passed through the crucial test" He played the character of young magistrate and the only disguise he wore. and that was not disguise at all, was tuft of hair on the side of his face. He appeared at ease. In the second act he was making love to Miss Edna Sydney, but did not get on very well with the young lady, who left his side and walked across the stage He rose and followed her continuing his importunities. '1 nev- CT loved any other girl in my life" he ex- claimed passionately. But he never fin ished the sentence. There was a loud explosion and an illumination in the flies that startled the audience, and the orches- tra struck up "Johnny, Get Your Gun. ]" The audience "caught on" and were con- vulsed with lauhgter. Grilley faced the music with the ease and grace of a man that had followed the professson for years. Finally when the audience had sufficiently recovered he exclaimed: "That must be the raft::scene," and when the applause had subsided proceeded with the play with remarkable equanimity.

In the afternoon "The Cattle King" will be given and in the evening the com pany will present "The Bandit King" The Philadelphia North American says: 'James H.. Wallick presented his equine melodrama, The Cattle King at the Nation al Theatre last night for the first time in this city. The play possesses considerable merit. MT Wallick plays Bob Taylor (the cattle king) and Daredevil Dick, and was equally at home in both parts. MT George Barr played the difficult part of Don Pedro with commendable energy, and Mir L. N. Crowell was dignifed as Sir John Paxtoii. The intelligent horses-Charger, and Raider, Jim and Texas-contribute not a little to the spectacular success of the piece."

QUE cIrY,s CHRISTMAS TRADE.

Our City Trade appears to be booming and blooming. All the forecasts of the coming festive season are presented with taste and we may add temptation. The store windows are decorated with more than the usual elaboration of Christmas tide, and we are pleased to add that there is already an amount of patronage to fill the coffers and gladden. the hearts of our enterprising store keepers.

Yesterday she called and received her money. A curious feature of this case is that the day MT Dickerman found the money he went around the dopot and asked all including the woman if they had lost anything.

WHAT SHE WANTED.

She didn't want corner lot way out in Kansas
City;
She didn't want Turkish rug, she didn't think
them pretty.
She hadn't any use for oils, for chromos or for
waters;
She stuck her nose ip at the dresses worn by
Jones daughters.
She i1st detested diamonds, and thought lew
elry vulgar;
She had no love for ornaments, Roumanian or
Bulgar.
she wouldn't drive in coach and four, although
she might have had EN-,
But trudged along the street. as did her great
forefather, Adam.
She didn't like to travel on the trains, they went
too rapid;
And journey cross the ocean main she never
yet had mapped.
She didn't like the drama, and she thought the
ballet horrid;
She didn't like the weather cold, nor yet so very
torrid.
She was no novel reader, and took little stock
in poems,
Although she'd now and then look over those
by DR.. Holmes.
She didn't care for household work, and had no
love for dishes;
She let her mother darn her hose, for she detest-
ed stitches.
She didn't care for isms, and she never wrote q
letter
To the papers, telling how she'd try to make the
whole world better.
She lived in Massachusetts, she was freckled
old and tanned,
And all on earth she wanted was-a marriage
able man.

A COURAGEOUS MAN.
Som ethlng About the First Individual
That Carried an Umbrella.

The first man who ventured to walk
the streets of London with an umbrella
was Joseph Hanway. The sensation,
of course, was great. He might have
walked the streets with boil on his
nose, or policeman on each arm with.
out attracting any particular attention.
but he couldn' do it with an umbrella.
The rain was pouring, though it didn't
hinder the people from pouring into
the street to look at him. Some fol-
lowed him, laughing aud jeering, Until
they wore soaked to the skin, but
Joseph kept right on in his own placid
way, shedding smiles on the multitude
as his umbrella shed the rain. No
doubt his politeness impelled him to
offer its shelter to some poor woman
caught in the storm. but we venture to
say that no woman was caught under
that umbrella on its experimental
trip. The sex is too susceptible to
ridicule for that Joseph continued
to brave ridicule and carry his UNI
brella until people got used to seeing
it, and one day when a neighbor call
ing at his house tried to borrow it
promising to return it without delay,
he knew that opposition was at an end
and the reign of the umbrella was be-
gun. We suspect that the neighbor
failed to return the umbrella, thereby
establish ing precedent that has held
good ever since 1t would be curious
to know whether the first umbrella
carrier was in the habit of carrying
it under his arm when it wasn't rain
ing, with the point protruding at a
convenient angle for jabbing out the
eyes of the person following. 1t is a
very old as well as pernieious habit,
difficult to eradicate. A man doesn't
give it up even after having his own
eve punched out We wish to think
kindly of Joseph Hanway, and hope he
did not introduce that vile habit with
the umbrella
People do not laugh at the umbrella
any more, except when the wind turns
it wrong side out at street corner,
or the negro minstrel whacks the table
with it in a comic speech.-Teras SJl

Va. Amsrio. Erer Discovered

At the time when Columbus started In
search Of the New World, nearly every man,
woman and child in Europe insisted that
there was no New World to discover. When
he came back, crowned with success, large
proportion of these good people adhered TO
their theory; and if they were alive today
many of them would doubtless insist that
America had never been discovered at al;
A man will give up anything in the world
moro readily than pet theory. For eX T;
ample, look at the individuals who still
maintain that consumption is incurable. DR.;
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has cured
thousands upon thousands of cases, and
will cure thousands more, but these people
can't give up their point Neverthe less the
Discovery will cure any case OF consump-
ton, if taken in time.

PRACTICAL FARMING.
What Persons Contemplating to Engage
in Agriculture Should Know.

HI
In view of the fact that many young
men in city life are thinking of going
into farming we have undertaken to
prepare them little by telling them
something of what farmer must know
before he can be any thing of asucccss.
He should know what his particular
soil is capable of producingto best adj
vantage. If he is after new place the
kind of wild timber growing will help
him out. 1t is unnecessary to say that
walnut and white oak give an encour-
aging prospect, but will say that he
should know the difference between a
sandy soil and stiff clay, and 10 be
able to judge of the intermediate points
between these extremes; if he is able
to find the exact mixture he wants he
will be fortunate.
1t is generally to his advantage to
know what fertilizer will produce the
best crops on is land, and to know
the points most generally acceptable in
all his stock. whether II is horses for
work or for speed, cattle for fattening,
or cows for milk, hogs for meat, sheep
for meat and wool. and to know the
most profitable way of feeding each.
He must likewise know the time of
sowing his seeds and the quantity to
sow, and the different ways of Guilt
va;ing all crops; he must understand
/ all the varieties of fruit, from the ear
liest strawberry to the latest apple; be
/ able to doctor all stock from the hour
old chick to the twenty-year horse;
be prepared to do any work, from
the chopping up of a weed to the meas
uring of grain ready for market; to
stop horses from running away, cows
from kicking, from sucking them
selves or from sucking others; cattle
from breaking fences; hogs from root
/ ing; know the exact time to sow his
seeds and the time to cut his crops;
the best way of securing them; the
quantity of seed required for an acre
of ground, as a quart of rutabaga is
enough in his turnip patch, when two
bushels and half of seed is not too
much in his oat field. As nearly all
crops need a different quantity of seed
and different management, it is
probable some of our city cousins, with
all their knowledge, might make a
mistake.
This is but small part of what a
farmer has to learn, but certainly is
enough to convince a reasonable per-
son that a farmer has a good deal to
study before he is at the top of his
calling.
The writer has no desire to discour-
age his city friends from commencing
farmers life. There are farms for
sale. He bids them all welcome. Will
tell them that highly productive
farm. with good fences, well stocked
and the taxes paid to date, and free
from mortgage. is desirable Inherit
ance. Come out and enjoy yourself
under your own vine aud fig tree
